Asterix #[15]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA tense mood crackles across this 1972 Dargaud release as the cover shows a red-faced, furious Obelix squaring up aggressively while a wary Asterix looks on — the whole Gaulish village visible as a restless crowd in the background, hinting that trouble has come to their usually united ranks. Albert Uderzo's cover art captures both the humor and the discord with his trademark expressive linework and bold, vivid colors. With René Goscinny, Anthea Bell, and Derek Hockridge all contributing to the script, this adventure promises the sharp wit and warmth that make this series so enduring.

Julius Caesar tries to conquer the little Gaulish village by sending Tortuous Convolvulus to stir up trouble. He succeeds in making everyone (including the Roman garrison) suspicious of everyone else, but Asterix, Obelix, and Getafix see through his scheme. By threatening to withhold magic potion they reunite the confused Gauls, who trounce the equally confused Romans. The only thing everyone understands is that Tortuous Convolvulus is at the root of the trouble, so they ship him back to Rome in chains.
